Dear school community and friends of GSN,

After having been present at the commissioning of a 50,000 litre water tank with GSN representatives last school year, a fruitful cooperation with the ‘Water for Kenya’-Initiative and ADS Eastern has developed. The idea of creating a charity run was born. The aim is to financially help needy schools in Eastern Kenya, which are severely affected by the droughts, to build such a tank so that enough water can be collected from the roofs of the school during the rainy season. This not only helps the whole school community, but it also supports schoolgirls, as they have always been responsible for fetching water and therefore they miss a lot of

lessons in the dry season, as they sometimes have to walk up to 15 km to the far away water points. The tanks are then built and maintained by the parents of the schoolchildren with the help of the money we have collected and the expert support of ADS Eastern.

The pupils look for sponsors in their families and friends circle, possibly also companies, who support them with a certain amount per round. (Lap length 250 m, time window approx. 1 hour).

Parents, friends and colleagues are also invited to run!!!

Alternatively, you can donate a fixed amount before the run to support pupils who don't find so many sponsors.

Please help us to reach our goal to finance a full 50,000 litre tank for a school in need!
